The Dread of Heaven's Rule, Rewarding and Punishing Gods and Ghosts (23)
Tumultuous!
It illuminated the night as if it were daytime.
The raging crimson flames continued to expand outwards.
Today, Xiluo has been completely transformed and is no longer the mountain goddess who only knew how to set fires.
Even that skinny, malnourished Big Girl has transformed into Li Jingshu, who can now capture tigers and leopards and roam freely in the mountains.
How could Xiluo, who was born extraordinary, possibly remain stagnant?
--One can transform essence into qi without refining essence, and one can Spirit Transformation by calming the mind.
From this perspective, there is only one hurdle that truly hinders Xiluo's cultivation—entering a meditative state.
So here's the question: could a simple "entering a meditative state" really have stumped Xiluo for six or seven years?
The divine light that gradually emerged from behind Xiluo's head gave everyone a definite answer.
Tumultuous!
The divine light behind his head transformed into a ring, and the flames became even more spiritual.
And it was amidst this divine light and flames that Xiluo, in her red leopard form, actually stood up.
No, it's not just about standing up...
When Xiluo raised her head, she had already transformed into a Ominous Deity form, half-human and half-beast.
Tumultuous!
At this moment, Xiluo's hair was disheveled and fluffy, with her red hair flying everywhere.
Just by looking at her appearance, it's clear that she's imitating Li Boyang when he's angry.
Unlike Li Boyang, Xiluo made no attempt to conceal her ferocious, bestial nature; her fangs gleamed coldly in the air.
In addition, the leopard tail behind Xiluo was dancing wildly, emitting a sharp whistling sound like a steel whip.
"You..."
However, more than the change in appearance, Hei Chi was shocked by Xiluo's face.
It was a woman's face, a face that bore some resemblance to the Goddess of War in the mountain temple.
"Wu Yao!?"
Startled, the voice involuntarily rose several octaves, and the Hei Chi trembled as its eyes widened.
After careful examination, Hei Chi finally confirmed that it was indeed the face of the Witch of the Huai River from a thousand years ago.
"You... you..."
Are you Xiluo now... or Wu Yao?
The reason why Hei Chi asked this question was certainly not just because Xiluo's appearance bore a resemblance to the Witch of the Huai River.
Furthermore, Hei Chi sensed the power of the Witch of the Huai River from Xiluo in her current state.
"Of course I'm Xiluo!"
"Of course I am Wu Yao!"
An eerie dual tone emanated from Xiluo's mouth, and her Primordial Spirit emerged at that moment.
Unlike the Ominous Deity, half-human, half-beast form of the physical body.
The Primordial Spirit that appeared behind Xiluo actually possessed a complete human form.
Or to be more precise, the appearance of that Primordial Spirit was exactly the same as that of the Goddess of War enshrined in the mountain god temple.
"To be more precise, I am actually the Wu Yao that Xiluo remembers."
Xiluo's Primordial Spirit chuckled softly, her brows radiating a compassion that her physical body could never possess.
"I never imagined that a thousand years later, such a gifted individual would be born among my Hou Yi..."
Xiluo's Primordial Spirit slowly raised her right hand, and a longsword that transcended this era appeared out of thin air.
"The Primordial Spirit is the innate deity, the essence of the soul, and the spiritual connection and bridge between living beings and heaven and earth."
"Cognitive Spirit is the essence of wisdom and the root of Fate Principles; it is the thought and cognition formed by living beings in contact with all things."
"The combination of the two can almost directly communicate with the Heavenly Mandate, thereby giving birth to incredible supernatural Divine Ability."
After a slight pause, Xiluo's Primordial Spirit raised the longsword in the Hei Chi's terrified eyes.
"My Primordial Spirit granted Xiluo the foundation for the ability to imitate me..."
"The Cognitive Spirit then extracted all the impressions of me from Xiluo's past memories..."
"Therefore, I am now both Xiluo and Wu Yao."
"I know everything Wu Yao knows, that's beyond question..."
"Wu Yao doesn't understand, but Xiluo believes Wu Yao can understand, and I understand too."
"In some ways, I am now even wiser and more versatile than that Witch of the Huai River from a thousand years ago."
As she continued her unhurried narration, Xiluo's Primordial Spirit smiled and threw the longsword in her hand.
"The so-called Premonition Divine Ability are not only foretelling the future, but also the past."
As soon as Xiluo's Primordial Spirit finished speaking, the long sword pierced through the Hei Chi's body, petrifying it once again and turning it back into a sculpture.
"Only the wrath of the heavens, the reward and punishment of Ghost God, can be called the Heavenly Mandate!"
"Finally found it!"
They were unaware of what was happening behind them.
After traversing most of Ghost God Cliff, You Chong finally arrived at a shadowy place shrouded by towering rock formations.
"This is the central hub of the entire Flying Peak, a prison that holds the most ferocious and evil god from a thousand years ago."
When You Chong see the cave in the shadows...
An invisible and terrifying pressure instantly overwhelmed his mind.
Affected by this, You Chong, who originally wanted to take another look, was forced to reveal his true form.
"Cough cough..."
Under such immense pressure.
Even You Chong, known as the "Blood Demon," coughed uncontrollably a few times.
It was at this moment that a dark light suddenly burst forth from You Chong's pupils.
The next second, You Zhong, who had been You Chong over, slowly stood up, and his entire aura underwent a dramatic change.
"I've finally found you..."
The Blood Demon spoke again, lowering his voice, but it was still clear that he was different from You Chong.
"The Guirong Clan?"
After realizing that the Blood Demon had switched personalities, the Big Black Dog's voice came from the dark cave.
Along with the sound came the Big Black Dog's confused tone.
"The Guirong Clan?"
"Well, it's not entirely wrong of you to call me that now."
Guirong Clan chuckled dismissively, then stepped towards the dark Ghost God Cave.
"Guirong Clan, I don't recall ever knowing you!"
In the blink of an eye, a shadow suddenly rose up from beneath the feet of the Guirong Clan.
Using the shadows to manifest a Big Black Dog, it leaped up and opened its blood-red maw, attempting to swallow Guirong Clan whole.
You may not recognize me, but I remember you.
He didn't even glance at the Yin Deity.
With a simple side kick, Guirong Clan knocked the Big Black Dog to the ground.
The whole process was smooth and seamless, completed in one go, without even a moment's hesitation.
"Stop playing these petty tricks..."
"I know you much better than you think."
As they continued walking forward, Guirong Clan's voice echoed clearly in the cave.
The Big Black Dog, having lost the initiative, did not probe further. Instead, it dispersed its Yin Deity and allowed its Primordial Spirit to return to its original body.
"You... know me?"
